Hi all!
First time thread poster on this forum. I've posted my personal and more importantly my Landie details recently in the Introductions section.
If anyone's interested I found an internet link to 109" Series 1 utility for sale near Newcastle, NSW. Finding it was a bit ironic; the link is to a Series 1 forum in New Zealand, whilst the vehicle itself is literally in my own stamping ground as I live only 40 mins north of Newcastle.
Whilst it was very appealing to me as it appears original, complete, in reasonable condition and close to home for pick-up, my wife would, to put it nicely, object very strenuously should I bring another project Series 1 home.
The link is attached as follows, and I've cut and pasted the words from the advertisement to whet your appetites............
